"llhe olojiect ot' this invention is to provide a multipart vvheel so constructed as to permit and iacilitate the changing of tires Without removal oi that part ot the Wheel which is applied to the axle.. lli turther ohiect ot the invention is to provide a wheel which, vvhile retaining the ahove specified capacity, is comparatively light in weight and at the same time sufficiently strong and durable as i0 to adapt it tor use on the heavier types ot titi dil

automohiles, such as trucks, as Well as on .lighter cars and on aeroplanes.

d preterred embodiment of the invention shovvn in thedravvings, in WhichlEig. i is a side elevation ot the vvheel. Fig. 2 is a diametrical section through the vvheel.. y

'lhe vvheel comprises a disk a (preferably lout not necessarily dat), to which is secured a huh o9 and disk b contorining in shape to 'and applied to the outer face ot, disk o. Dish h entends toward the Wheel axis approaimately to the huh o. The tvvo dishs are oli the same external diameters and their periplieries are torined to provide complementary halt rims d and e9 which together term a rim adapted to receive any lrind oi tire n solid or pneumatic. A

l-lulo c9 which projects outward trom disk o., is externally threaded to receive a hub cap e2 the inner end ot which is annularly hanged so as to engage the inner circular edge of dislr lo when the cap is screvved tightly on the hula Y Uislr t) is directly secured to dislr o hy means oi holts and washers and nuts g. The lholte should loe lined solidli on dislr o.,

Eislr o is provided vvith pins li] adapted to engage holes in dislr lo9 therehy altording a ready means tor properly positioning dish on disir e and preventing such relative cir- 2erentiai movement loetvveen the dislrs as d "tend to loosen the loolts. nap is secnrahle in Ahuh c hy means et a 'screvv i adapted to entend through aligning holes in the cap and huhl liislr h is held tast to dish a hy means ed the holte ,t and nuts g and also hy the prem e eainst dislr h ot the huh cap a i e are preieraloly provided v'vith ltlt'l. tteral No., ttld.

large aligning openings it, whereby the Wheel is made lighter Without suhstantially reduc ing its strength.

By reason oit the arrangement oi holte il and pins it shovvn in Fig. l., dislr t cannot he iitted on dislr a vvithout necessarily aligning: the holes lc ol one disk With the holes it ot the other dislr.

litter nnloclring and unscrevving huh cap t and unscrevving nuts g, dislr t may he removed and a tire may he readily removed and replaced, atter which dislr h is again positioned on dislr a, nuts g are' applied and tightened, and cap i is screvved on the huh until it presses against dislr h and is iastened in place loy means of screw-j.

llle are aware that Wheels composed oit dislrs carrying half rims and adapted to he secured one against the other are lrnovvn in the art; hut a vvheel having the combinations ot 'features dedned in the appended claims is helieved to he new and to eirhihit substantial advantages over vvheels ot the prior art.

Having novv lt'ully descrihed our invention7 what We claim and desire to protect hy lietters Patent is:

l, d dish vvheel for vehicles comprising two dislrs adapted to be assemhled tace to tace and provided with complementary halt rims, means to removably secure said dislrs togethen a huh on one dislr extending through the other disk, and a cap adapted to loe threaded on the huh and to engage the inner peripheral portion ot the latter dislr to lering that portion thereot into itat contact vvith the lirst islr.,
